2004

Within the last month my bike has died at idle. It doesn't matter if its as soon as I start the bike or after I've been riding it for an hour. It takes off as it should and seems to ride fine under throttle at all positions except idle. It also makes a "puff" sound before dying almost like a...

Initial Issue:
after an electronic start I had a high pitch sound. A noise I had never heard before. I was in the field and I immediately trailered the ATV. After reading advice from this forum, I replaced the battery(needed replacing), and cleaned the connections to the solenoid. I still...

Anyone know if the front forward offset a-arms for the 05+ sportsman 500’s will fit on a 04 sportsman 400? Reason for asking is i have larger tires on and the front rubs the inside seam of the fenders. Unless anyone knows of a clean way to remove that seam and keep the fenders looking stock...

Hey guys, I'm new to this website but here you go.

Hello y'all. Got some problems with my 2004 polaris sportsman 400. It runs PERFECT. But, when the machine is cold, it starts very very hard. And when it eventually starts, the idle screw has to be turned at least 4 rotations before it will even idle. As the motor warms up, the idle gradually...

Hello Friends,
Spent the weekend installing a Badlands 2000lbs. winch. All hooked up except one thin gauge red wire that runs from the winch control switch to the ignition switch. It is supposed to be connected in to the ignition as a safety features that prevents the winch from operating...

Well I'm fixing up my 04.5 Sportsman 500 H.O. Well I got a rip in my seat cover up in front right where it starts to bend over the seat. So which is the best seat cover, as in holding up, and looking good. Preferably not OEM as the POLARIS on the side rubs off. What do yall have? Thanks

2004 Sportsman 500 4x4
I have replaced the battery, the fuel system is good, turned the key and checked the breaker packs with key on and while cranking on and they are not getting hot so assume they are good. I have no way to test the CDI module, the regulator, the kill switch or the key...

I have a 2004.5 sportsman 500 h.o., this past weekend I took it on the trails and ride for about 6 straight hours with only a couple of 5 min breaks, as the day progressed I noticed that my idle RPMs were running high and also seemed like they were really high for the speed I was goin. I was...

Hi all,
I just picked up a very nice 2004 Polaris Pradator 500, Troy lee edition today and am having problems with it. I test drove it before the purchase and everything worked great! Problem is that when it gets good and warmed up then the problem starts. It starts spitting and sputtering...

hey guys.
I just sold one Pred. and now i got my main bike left.
My goal is to upgrade to a newer quad, maybe a 525 but i do have to pay some bills first.
anyway i have this bike for sale locally, but i guess pred's arn't too popular around here. So i figured i'd put it up and see if anyway...

Hey guys, I just purchased a 2004 Sportsman 400 and am new to the forum. This seems to be an odd year and am wondering if anyone could further explain this to me? It seems all the accessories go up to 2003 and then skip to 2005 and newer. Also I've seen some mention of a 2004.5, how can I...

I could not find a thread that covered this, so thought that I would add one.
I experienced a no start on my 2004 500HO with 2800 miles on it. I had just backed it out of the garage to top off the gas and after filling it fired once and that was it. I checked that it was not flooded, and...

Greetings, this may have been answered since the machine is 6 years old already, but I don't know what all the parts may be called for a thourough search of the forums so here goes. My machine starts and runs fine. However, the speedometer, tac, guages, and 4x4 switch do not work. I have no...

Hello All!
Can anyone help? I have a 04 ATP that won't activate the AWD. The first thing I noticed was the cluster no longer indicated the gear in. Rest of cluster is fine. Also unit would not go into diagnostic mode. Here's the puzzle to me, If I (using a test light) ground out the drum...
